Initial investment 235 euro (yes, the blades I found at a very good price!)Hope to sell the "old" parts on ebay, so overall investment will be app 110,-

So an Euro a gram... thats not bad.... rigth?

After adjustments it will be at 7270gr total (excl the Edge 705)

After I finish off the GP4000S, I will replace them with lighter ones... but don't want to go to much into punctures... options?Only thing left after that (without getting into to structural things) are the 2 bottle cages... options?Maybe in a far far future I will be able to go below 7200gr on my 62cm bike

it doesn't need anything else. Any good artist knows that knowing when to stop is one of the most important lessons to learn. sure you could make it lighter or more blinged out, but you'd lose a lot of the modern classic character it has now.But if you're still looking for something try Veloflex tires and a chaincatcher.

The Factory look has the loudest, proudest decals (as they came out of the factory). As you had them before with white decals. Gives the wheel sponsor the greatest standout on pro team bikes, and hence lots of 'mere mortals' like them that way when parting with their hard earned cash to look 'pro' and let everybody know just how much they have spent!

Beyond that, those 'in the know' don't need to shout about what they have, and recognise high end wheels even without the decals. You sir clearly have taste in bike kit.

It's a bit like suits (bear with me here!). Cheap suits have no label. Expensive suits have a label loud and proud inside the jacket on the pocket. REALLY expensive tailored suits tuck the label away inside the pocket itself. The quality speaks for itself and there is a certain pride in knowing without shouting. So it is with wheels.

Your wheels are a great set of hoops and you don't need to shout it out if you don't want. You know what they are and anybody 'in the know' will too.

I have several sets of wheels and some are destickered and some aren't. TherE's no hard and fast rule.
